Re: [ST] What's Wrong?

Agreed. I have ridden Harleys as well and don't think they are anything special, if not actually below its competing products. I think there are better cruisers out there, if that is the type of bike you are looking for. They charge more for a bike that is less. Oh yeah - they through you the "intangibles" of it being a Harley, of the club you become part of, etc.....that just means they don't have anything better or more tangible to justify the price tag with. I like cruisers as well (have owned them and might buy another one), but I would drop my money on almost any other cruiser than a HD first.

Class me as a, "motorcyclist" then...as I have ridden HDs and found them under braked, poorly suspended, noisy and not worth the hype for my bank roll.
And isn't the purpose of this listserve to bash-talk-discuss-hype-etc bikes and bike goodies??!! Tell me to STFU?! Cool out bro'. It was all in fun.

If you haven't, then shut the fuck up.
Until you have you just don't know.
I have ridden triumphs since the late 70's, along with a load of other
English bikes.
I have only ever owned one japper.
I don't have a car.
I ride 45k miles a year, about 20 on my Sprint, the rest on the Harley, and
yes the Harley is the more fun to ride.
The Sprint is a whole lot faster, but has nothing in attitude compared with
the Harley.
Once you have cleared your minds of crap and bullshit take a ride on a
Harley, if you don't enjoy it class yourself as a motorcyclist, don't buy
one and shut the fuck up, if you do enjoy it you can class yourself as a
biker and when you can buy yourself one.
That is all I have to say.
I wait for the winging shit eaters to flame me BIG time.
